"On 11 March 2007 a day after his 55th birthday, Tsvangirai was arrested.. His wife.. reported that he had been heavily tortured by police, resulting in deep gashes on his head and a badly swollen eye" link
"ZANU-PF has implemented a strategy of reciprocity in the negotiations, using Western sanctions as a cudgel against MDC. He would like to see some quiet moves, provided there are acceptable benchmarks, to 'give' some modest reward for modest progress.. He also acknowledged that his public statements calling for easing of sanctions versus his private conversations saying they must be kept in place have caused problems" link
"He [Tsvangirai] is the indispensable element for opposition success, but possibly an albatross around their necks once in power. In short, he is a kind of Lech Walesa character: Zimbabwe needs him, but should not rely on his executive abilities to lead the country's recovery" link
"Grace Mugabe sues Zimbabwe newspaper over Wikileaks diamond story" link
"Max is a genetically engineered human, created by Manticore.. All the kids in Manticore had a number inserted into there genetic patterns that shows up as a barcode on the back of the neck" link

Tell that to the thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians killed in the 'liberation'

There's always a catch, in this case you'll stop using other development platforms and produce apps that will only run on dotNET ..
